Why are these guys just now trying this? The Wii has been around for a while, and we already seen the start of the next (and perhaps ultimate) control scheme: Direct brain control.
So from reading the article, it sounds like they just found some carbon dust in the cloud they stirred up. Am I the only one not excited at all by finding carbon? Isn't it a common mineral?
Just wait until some mad scientist engineers a tree to produce it's own ink and arrange it properly. In Soviet Russia, the tree strikes the lightning! (That's my first Soviet Russia attempt. w00t)
This is my reaction too. Also, what is the cost of having to maintain all these muscles? Do you have to eat more than the normal person? Do you lose all your fine motor control?
The human is the best animal in the brain department. Why don't they try to improve what we're good at? Why compete with the Gorilla?
I'm mostly peeved because they bought up my local cable company. Since then, the service has been dropping out several times a day and my bill has doubled. Their techs came out to fix things twice, charging each time but not fixing the problem. They also called me a geek because I had Ubuntu running on my laptop, which was not compatible with their modem. It was compatible just fine before they took over though....
I agree that Comcast is too large at this point and should be hit with the monopoly hammer. I don't think it counts as "too big to fail" though -- society would not be ruined if people lost their cable tv like if they lost their homes or cars. In fact, losing certain shows might improve society considerably.
Battlefield Heroes is a business at the end of the day and for a company like EA who recently laid off 16% of their workforce, we need to keep an eye on the accounts and make sure we are doing our bit for the company.'
You know, most businesses take a step back to figure out why they had to lay people off. If EA took a moment to figure out that customers don't like it when they get screwed and pirate their games in vengeance, then maybe they'd be doing better. I don't know about you guys, but I'm still sore about the whole DRM thing.
Sorry, I guess this is a redundant comment for "EA strikes again".
- Secondly, there is this idea that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. Reactors are nice and all, but what do you do with them when you run out of fuel? Uranium is a finite resource, but the water cycle goes on forever.
I think this is your best point. I now quote myself from about a year ago:
Here is the problem: at a global capacity of 400 GWe (we use 15000 GWe in a year), we'd be out of our low-cost uranium reserves in 25 years. That comes from a publication from the University of Guelph physics dept in 1996. That's right, the number is even lower now.
If we start building more reactors now, we'd be about out of fuel right when they came online. We can overcome this by using breeder reactors, but that's a big international no-no.
So guys, wait until fusion gets working. We'll have enough fuel for that for 4 million years or somesuch. Besides, no self-respecting mech pilot would use pathetic fission.
Hasn't he been saying that he's into transparency this whole time? What? Did you guys think it was a one way street? We're lucky there aren't webcams in all our bathrooms.
I appreciate that you turned it around to attack the poster and made it more accurate at the same time. People get upset about "offensive words" right now. It's a sad fad, not even able to use them in a humorous inoffensive way. They'll be over it in a few years. I like to think about language as a bunch of random chimp grunts when people are offended by each other. It's quite entertaining. I imagine our alien overlords feel the same way watching us.
Get me a fan of Elfen Lied and have him explain how he isn't a pedophile. And, interestingly enough, 3 out of 3 of my gay friends prefer Linux to windows.
My AI would design its base to be a rough representation of a naughty picture on the minimap. Human players would always lose as they just let the AI build away to see the picture get a higher resolution.
I know! That's what I thought too! As a result, I try my best to avoid saying it altogether. I just write it on the board now. People generally agree on the spelling.;)
What's really funny is when someone makes fun of it's mispronunciation, then mispronounces it himself.
Just to point out the cern way as it was taught to me, the correct way is to pronounce it with TWO syllables, not three. Think the two words of "new clear". If you're saying "new-clee-arr", then you're no better than the "new-cue-larr" people.
But that makes it precarious for if you're one of those drivers who likes to benefit from a girlfriend next to you on a long trip. Take that however you want.
from many years ago. The experiment was two identical growing chambers using artificial sunlight. One was placed in a normal building, the other underneath a mountain or something shielded from cosmic rays like that. It had the same result: it was found that plants grew better when they were getting the radiation. Does anyone remember this experiment?
The posters and mods on this site are the same. There are a lot of nerdholes too. If it's an anonymous coward saying anything, you can ignore the poster because he's just a troll and would insult (insert religious figure here) just to get yelled at. It's the only way they can beat back the depression of their pathetic lives.
. . . Wait a minute, where did you get modded troll? I don't even see the original post! Ah, screw it.

Is Civ 4 a good game? If we're stuck with a game advert article, we might as well sway it over to a something a gamer will actually play.
This probably isn't the best time to bring attention to another of your liked series. Just a thought.
I think it's because guys tend to drink more when they game. They pass out while the girl keeps gaming and eating chocolate.
They named it Scarlet and the thing is *yellow*? Are you kidding me? Freakin Beatles fans...

... such as how to use the "hide" button that pops up when you put your mouse over it in the feed.
The other downside of these cloaks, of course, is that you can't see out of them since no light interacts with your eyes.
Does anyone else remember the Atari Haunted House game? That's what I'm thinkin!

New Zealand is where Xena was filmed. The new planetoid recently discovered was also named Xena. Coincidence? I think not.

You want to learn economics? Figure out how to afford the textbooks and supplementary math software you need to take the course. Done.
It's always easy to learn how to spread out a dollar when you're broke. I can see how the MIT guys might have trouble with it though.
I know! That's what I thought too! As a result, I try my best to avoid saying it altogether. I just write it on the board now. People generally agree on the spelling. ;)
